We all experience the waxing and waning of sewing/hobby interests. I find that I go back and forth between quilting on a daily basis to wanting to read-I have a fabric stash and a large collection of books to prove it! I have reached a point of quilting just because I love it. Sometimes I have no one in mind when I make a pretty quilt. I do it just because I love doing it. If family want to keep it when I pass away that is fine but I won't know the difference if they don't. I do it because I just love to sew and quilt. We all have to spend 24 hours every day doing something-or nothing. I make lots of things to give away and always try to participate in efforts to make quilts for organizations. But I keep going and love doing it but I don't let myself think that I do it because I have to. Do what you enjoy for at least a part of every day. Some are able to focus on one or two things, others just have lots and lots of interests and don't focus for too long on any one thing. It is OK to change and go back or never go back.
